And Then There Was One

That's it, we have our tournament champion, the University of Connecticut Huskies, or Yukon for short. Thank you Twitter for that one.

Watching the championship game, was it just me, or was UConn passing a bit to hard at times? Or passing a bit careless, an under the legs pass of the opponent that didn't connect, really? Granted, they still won, but yeow, it made me feel a bit nauseous during the game.

I wasn't sure who I wanted to win tonight, since both teams are in the final game quite often, and UConn had their NCAA violation, Kentucky has all Freshman starters who are one and done, but in the end, I went for UConn. Mainly because they had star players that have been on the team longer than one year. Blah to the one and done. Give me three, four or five starting seniors and I'll put you far in my bracket.

Notes from the game:

I never saw a camera shot of Ashley Judd, did I miss it or was she not there tonight?

UConn went 101-115 on free throws throughout the tournament, 10-10 tonight. Wisconsin went 19-20 and lost by 1....ouch! Oh Badgers....

On ESPN's contest, 27,203 had UConn as the winner out of 11 Million+ (0.3%) Our bracket contest had 0 of 74 pick sheets.

Which brings me to our bracket contest results....

No one correctly picked either team to be in the final game tonight, so not much to play for unfortunately. I personally didn't care for any of the #1 seeds this year, and I was on to something having a #7 and #8 play in the final game.

Our Bracket64 Challenge winner is Miles Nelson with 118 points and 2 of the final 4 teams correct. You're gonna hate this, but Miles is only 9 years old! We all got schooled by a nine year old. He was however, second place in pick percentage with 67% correctly picked.

Second place went to Dave Borgman with 116 points and also had 67% correct (2nd best), but only had 1 of the final 4 teams correct.

Third place went to Drew Wittchow with 116 points, 65% correct and 2 of 4 of the last four teams correct.

Forth place, with 114 points and 65% correct is Dominic Fortuna. If my intel is correct, he is 11 years old! If Wisconsin had won Saturday night, this contest would have been his.

Finally our fifth place finisher, Kelby Kraft with 68% correct, which was the top pick percentage this year, congrats. They also were tops with 11 of the final 16 teams correctly picked. I thought they would run away with this contest, unfortunately their bracket went south and settled with 5th place this year.

I will contact the five winners on Tuesday on how they want to be paid since it's getting quite late. Congrats to all and see you in next years contest.
